Best Answer

"Épicéa" in Europe or "épinette" and "prusse" in parts of Canada may be English equivalents of "spruce" (Picea spp).

The masculine noun "épicéa" takes "l"* ("the") as its singular definite article. Its singular indefinite article is "un" ("a, one"). The feminine noun "épinette"takes "l"* as its singular definite article, and "une" as its singular indefinite. The masculine noun "prusse" takes "le" as its singular definite article, and "un" as its singular indefinite article.

The pronunciations are as follows: "eh-pee-seh-ah," "eh-pee-neht" and "pryooss."

*The masculine and feminine singular definite articles actually are "le" and "la" respectively. But the respective vowels "e" and "a" drop before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by an apostrophe: "l'épicéa" and l'épinette."
